Small doodle star

Size 20, Lizbeth fiber.

Small tatted star.

Created at the L.A.C.E. Chapter meeting, I haven't started the Tatting by the Bay Free Pattern. (snowflake).  I'd also like to try the star (lower corner) from Sumie's book:

Japanese Book

 

Garland of holiday lights

Free Christmas Lights Ornament 

Pattern -- Should be kinda neat with 

a few more tatted lights.

I used Aunt Lydias Crochet Thread 10

Metallic White / Pearl

and

Lizbeth size 20, Col. 692

  I used what I had on hand to give the pattern a try.

Earlier today - via Zoom

 (online Virtual Education thru the Lace Museum).

This is a kit; however, I think 

the color is DMC perle coton 3823.

There were beads in the kit - which

I put someplace, so used I some lt pink

beads from my stash (no label).

 

Time for Tea ....

I was "on the fence"

about this tea -- then, tried it.

Delicious!

Summertime Sunflowers

EDITED

This was a zoom class

thru the Lace Museum, which I set aside,

and kind of forgot about - -

Sunflower Teneriffe Lace Kit by Joan Brash.

This teneriffe pattern / Kit uses beads and fibers.

 Do you see the beads?

In addition to the Teneriffe Sunflower,

I've started a Needle Lace Sunflower, too

thru the Lace Museum ... next zoom session/video on Tuesday.

Sunflowers are a GREAT theme

for the summer sessions via the Lace Museum virtual education.  I have a few patterns and kits ...

This was the first sunflower, of the summer, that I've completed:

 Class instruction and pattern by Kelli Slack.  Link:  Sunflowers at the Twisted Picot.   

I have a few sunflowers to create -- I have a Spangles kit - beaded lace bobbin.   

(photo from their web site Spangles)

Karen Smock has a class coming up, Sunflower on a small Grapevine wreath.  Earlier this year she had a lovely earring/necklace set, Zwirnknopf Sunflower Buttons - which I will enjoy making.   

Also, I came accross the Endruck's Happy Sunflowers, LINK HERE.   (tatting)    Should be fun.

I'm looking forward to see the new class offerings 

for Winter : )

 

 

Tatted edges

These are the edges I use for lacemaking demonstrations.

A simple ring and chain -- simple split ring edges.  

Patterns on the Lafayette Lacemakers blog - Link HERE.

Ring & Chain - Lizbeth size 20, Col. 684 / Flora 20 - Color 201.  

Split Ring edge - Lizbeth size 20, Col. 661

Pattern:  Sophie T. LaCroix, 1143, Old and New Designs in Tatting--Book No. 11.

I'm using Lizbeth size 20, colors 170 & 138.  It is over 24" long.

[Helping Hands Newsletter Vol 20, Issue 3 - Fall 2012]

This edge is not difficult, once you get the pattern going.

And colorful!

Lizbeth size 20, Color 161.  

Pattern:  Plate 21-Insertion, Anne Orr in the Tatting Book No 13

[Helping Hands Newsletter Vol 32, Issue 2 - Spring/Summer 2024]

I find the wooden edge keepers keep my tatting from tangling up.  I tend to tat a little bit here and there, so nice to tuck in a bag and carry along.

Lace Edging Keeper from Twisted Picot, Link HERE.

 

Anne Orr: Plate 21 -- Insertion

I'm using Lizbeth Size 20, Col. 161

 

I've had this issue of The Bulletin, International Organization of Lace publication -- Dated Spring 2012.  I always admired the cover - and thought the lace edge so pretty.   On my list to "tat" someday when I found the pattern.

  

And, then the Helping Hands Newsletter arrives in the mail, 

from Handy Hands.   

Inside the newsletter is the Anne Orr pattern!!!
